Hi, there! *~waves~* Well, what do you know....you've done it! Another week has come and gone and you are productive as ever! (Okay, so I am presuming this...you have to be the judge of your own productivity, but let's hear a round of applause for each of you anyway!) YAY! Whoo-HOO! Great job!
This is the first of two posts today (What, you thought I would leave you without 'dessert' a little later? Nope!) and one that I couldn't wait to share. Behind every blog, there is the blogger. The person that dedicates the time they have to giving you an updated site with interesting posts and features to keep your TBR pile full to capacity. The person that just wants to share what they love with the world and in turn helps to create an online community full of friends. To each of you, I raise my (imaginary) glass and dedicate this toast (I mean post) as a THANK YOU for all you do.
Now, we all now how much comments make us smile, pause, or even ponder. Well, awards can do a bit of the same, plus give you a little token of appreciation to decorate your site with! Recently, I was on the receiving side of two award posts. The recent additions to the 'Trophy Room' will follow (after these commercial message....just kidding....) BUT so will the people I am passing them on to! (SURPRISE!) I've received both of these awards in the past and I am very humbled (ecstatic, over-joyed) to have been considered for them once again, but it is time to share the love and what better time to do that than now! Here we go! First award of two received....

*gulp* Okay, 10 true things about myself...*gulp*
I'm an avid reader. (Okay so that's a given, but really, there is rarely a time that I don't have a book with me.)
I'm actually a fairly shy person. (I have to get to know you before I open up, but once I do...watch out! Just kidding! I just get a little more talkative, that's all.)
When I started my blog, I wasn't sure anyone would read it. (Probably a truth shared by most bloggers when they first start, but a truth nonetheless.)
When I was little, I wanted to be a doctor. (Now, I'd rather be in publishing. Anyone need an Editorial Assistant?)
Friends, coworkers, even strangers....ask me for advice on some wide ranging things....even when I have no experience with them! (I swear, it's like I have an 'ask lucy' sticker on my forehead.)
My go to fashion staple....khaki pants. (No joke. I love the ones I get from the Gap and they just go with everything!)
My weekend fashion staple.....jeans. (Yep, I don't get to wear them most other times, so unless I'm going somewhere they are appropriate for, jeans it is.)
The really funny pages from my daily calendar are saved for an emergency 'chuckle' should the need arise.
I'm originally from Pennsylvania. (...and I am very jealous of everyone up that way that is getting snow!)
Every time I get a Twitter alert that "so and so is following you", I catch myself saying "who are you" like the caterpillar from Alice in Wonderland. (I can't help it! It just comes out...)
-------------------------------------------------
Hello? Are you still there? For those I didn't run off with my 'truths', it is now time for me to bestow the embarrassm....I mean HONOR to 7 of YOU! In to particular order, the recipients are...
Danielle @ There's A Book
Juju @ Tales of Whimsy
PettyWitter @ Pen and Paper
Book Chick City @ Book Chick City
Bri @ Bri Meets Books
Anna @ Book Nerds
MJMBecky @ One Literature Nut...

ReplyDeleteNotNessie: See I KNEW it would come as a surprise! (Ha ha ha...) =0)
Congratulations! *waves back*
ReplyDeleteSo...you're an avid reader? Who knew? :D I'm shy until I get to know someone as well, but it's easier online for some reason.
Loved learning a little more about you! And maybe you should follow Lucy's example and charge a nickel for your advice?
Let me know where to send all of our snow and I'll have a word with Mother Nature. Snow is pretty to look at, but a pain to shovel & drive in! :p
Have a great weekend!
Awww...thanks so much! And congrats on getting the awards yourself! :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the awards! Now I have lots of fun links to visit - woo-hoo! :-)
ReplyDeletecongrats on the awards :) and thanks for passing them on!
ReplyDeleteand me too about becoming a doctor! well, i didn't want to become a doctor, i wanted to be a teacher (and did) but now i want to be in publishing. i guess that's what book blogging does to you! :)
Yay! Thank you thank you! I still feel bad because having a "trophy room" page on my blog is one of the things on my to-do. Hopefully soon! Then I will be able to display all the wonderful awards you've given me! Thank you!
ReplyDeletePS...don't worry, no snow here! Never even really gets below 50 or above 90 where we live. It's nice sometimes, but I miss the seasons.
Ooh, yay! Thanks, and congrats yourself!
